Re: Mexican grade crossings with full on American parts
Someone probably drove into it or stole it and part of it stayed connected. Knowing Mexican Railroads. They probably aren't going to fix it any time soon.freebrickproductions wrote:Still there, actually:ToledoRailfan wrote:The signal that started this thread has sense had it's gate removed!![]()

Re: Mexican grade crossings with full on American parts
Funny, this mexican sign with FHWA letters claims in spanish that the signals are inoperable due to maintenance. Lets say if this were here in the us, it will never happen!
Because if a signal breaks, it gets repaired right away. From experience, NS will fix something the same day it breaks!
